mother
a simple word
complicated meaning

They say poetry is a way to explain the unexplainable
So here I go:

No words
No poem
No gifts

will ever fully show
my gratitude
my love
for you

But every year I try for you

Why?
Because I love you.

My mother
Amma
Amma is the Tamil translation for mother.

One day

I'll see your face
touch your lips
hear you speak

and we'll sit there happy and in love
you'll tell me all the ***** things you believe in

kind of seems like a dream right now

One day

I was sad at the prospect
                   that we must have a sad ending

I was afraid I would forget
                 the euphoria of us even slightly touching

It was with a heavy heart
                I said the wretched words "goodbye"

But when I look back at it

The sorrow and tears are gone
                 I'm left with cherished memories

Our ending isn't sad
                 our ending is insignificant

Our story is one that will be alive for **centuries

Hello friend
I was lost without you
I was at a dead end
You came into my life like the dawn
Evolving from the darkness
Igniting my bones
Let's go to a party
and dance like crazy
let's go to the florist
I'll get you a daisy
I could talk to you for days
But it's never enough
I simply always miss you
You marshmallow fluff
You truly are the peanut butter
to my jelly
Without you i wouldn't have this belly
Let's go on a ride to wonderland
Let's keep running till we can't stand
I only wrote this for you my friend
I hope that we never come to an end
^^

Hidden star against the dark backdrop of night.
Not seen...
Not heard...
Struggling to assert existence with waning light.

Stifled are the stories dying to be told.
Eclipsed are the emotions
within collapses and folds.
Cloaked is the voice
that screams in silent anguish.
Disenchanted is the will
that once spoke of flourish.

I see you black star...
Know that...
You're nearer than far.
Dig deep...              
Past the charred, crumbling skin.
Dig deep...          
Into the beating heart within.

Know that...
You're better than any of them.
Any of us.
Time will only reveal,
what the sky sought to despicably conceal.
Your true calling.
Not as the quiet sentinel
that no one sees...
but a cosmic gem.
.
For those who are constantly being overlooked, misjudged and wronged in any way.

I see you...

Let the crushing waves
wash the abrasive sand from our eyes

Let the infinite blue
replenish our breaths for deeper dives

Let these words fall free
and fill the silence between us

Let the beats of our hearts
set the pace for our lives

have you ever danced with the devil
in the pale moonlight?
just to prove that they're wrong and you're right

have you ever smiled so hard
just to hide your pain inside?
cause you know nobody cares
and you don't want to lose your pride

have you ever felt the warm touch
of a person's sincere care?
or being swallowed by other emotions
other than your fear

jealously, greed and curiosity
there's a lot more to it
but it all leads to insanity

all these questions are left unanswered
it might not hurt you
but still you're left battered
bothering you everyday
but still you say you're okay

is this all for happiness?
should i endure it and keep hoping
or should i ask myself
what's my purpose of living

is higher than words,
I have decided to fall silent."
